B6 moved their LGA-TPA to EWR-TPA last year in order to fund some slots for LGA-BOS launch. That opened up an opportunity for WN since only DL remained on LGA-TPA.

Is anyone else having troubles booking or changing flights in the newly released window? I seem to be getting the dreaded "We are currently unable to complete your request due to an undefined error" message. - I booked a few flights in June but no luck past July 4. Is it just me?

According to the flystl twitter page, STL-CHS will also be a new route.

Apparently, those nonstop flights are on weekends only.

I still see 2x ISP-TPA on the new schedule, which I think is consistent with the past (though open to correction on that).

What is also interesting is AA absent on nonstop service between TPA and LGA/JFK, even though AA views NYC as a "cornerstone" market, and it's quite big in Florida and the Southeast.

With this new schedule release, I would have thought Southwest would have been a little more hygienic and cleaned up the 3-stop and 4-stop flights that were widely discussed on here. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm still seeing lots of this multi-connection craziness.

Disappointed to see WN leave DAY but it's not a shock. Often CMH pricing and schedules are much better (not just with WN) and from my house it's almost as easy to use CMH as DAY, so we usually depart from Columbus.

It seems LAX-LIR, after being an often-discussed route, is being discontinued.
